This document records the instruction of the BSP (board support package) that provided by the RT-Thread development team for the STM32 Nucleo-64 development boards.
The document is covered in three parts:
By reading the Quickly Get Started section developers can quickly get their hands on this BSP and run RT-Thread on the board. More advanced features will be introduced in the Advanced Features section to help developers take advantage of RT-Thread to drive more on-board resources.
The STM32 Nucleo-64 board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes by choosing from the various combinations of performance and power consumption features, provided by the STM32 microcontroller. For the compatible boards, the external SMPS significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode. The ARDUINO® Uno V3 connectivity support and the ST morpho headers allow the easy expansion of the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields. The STM32 Nucleo-64 board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK debugger/programmer. The STM32 Nucleo-64 board comes with the STM32 comprehensive free software libraries and examples available with the STM32Cube MCU Package.
This BSP provides MDK4, MDK5, and IAR projects for developers and it supports the GCC development environment. Here's an example of the MDK5 development environment, to introduce how to run the system.
Use a Type-A to Mini-B cable to connect the development board to the PC and turn on the power switch. The LD3 (PWR) and LD1 (COM) will light.
project.uvprojx
file to open the MDK-Keil5 project (NOT template.uvprojx
file)Click the “option for target” button
Compile and download the program to the board
After the program is successfully downloaded, the system runs automatically. Observe the running results of the LED on the development board, the LD3 and LD1 will light all the time, and LD2 will flash periodically.
The USB virtual COM port connects to USART2 by default, and when the corresponding serial port (115200-8-1-N) is opened in the terminal tool, the output information of RT-Thread can be seen when the device is reset:

This BSP only enables GPIO and USART2 by default. If you need more advanced features such as SPI, I2C, you need to configure the BSP with RT-Thread ENV tool , as follows:
menuconfig
command to configure the project, then save and exit;pkgs --update
command to update the package;scons --target=mdk4/mdk5/iar
command to regenerate the project.Learn how to use RT-Thread Env, click Here.
